WHAT THE I., L. & C. WILL DO

A Valuable Tributary District Rich in Shipments Will Be Tapped. Kew Railroad Between This Citj and Kckcmo a Pcsaibilitj Shrewd Move bj Which ths Bis Four Will F.eap & Fat Reward. President Talbott and Chief Enpmeer Owner, of the Indianapolis. Logauaport & Chicago road, are still m the city working on the problem how to reach the Union tracks. It is probable that, coming down the Fall-creek mill-race near the Landers pork-bons?, they will take the track which connects that establishment with the Dig Fpnr tracks just above Market street, and use the Big Four tracks to reach the Union tracks. Under the Big Four's right of way into the city any other road can nse its track on Missouri street by paying 81 per car. Thisclanse in the Big Four's agreement with the city, in case the road did not lay its own track on Missouri street, coald be availed of. An Indianapolis business man. in 6peaking of this road yesterday, said he did not think the citizens of Indianapolis appreciated what u would be tothecity. II buiit only between Indianapolis and Loganspbrt. it would connect two important railroad centers, as at Lcgansport connections would be made with the Vandalia, the Waba.nh and three divisions of the i'ennsvlvama lines but the Toad will not stop at I.oganaport, says one who knows the programme and its financial backing. It will be built to Hammond, Ind., which means another line between Indianapolis and Cbicauo. Hue. speaking of it as a local line. President Talbott says it can but be a paying line f;orn the time the first train in ran. And at tne ontsetttwill do as much business as did the old Indianapolis. 1'crn &. Chicaz road in its best days. Its advantages to Indianapolis should be set forth. It opens to this city territory which is uow drained by the Wabash, the Toledo. St. Louis ifc Kansas City and the Lake Krie iV Western for Detroit, Toledo. Sanunsky and Cleveland. Tfce town of lCnssiuviilf, last year, shipped from that station .'X)0 carloads of live stock: this, naturally, would be shipped to Indianapolis. In July and August that station shipped over threo hundred car-loads of grain, most of which would have gone via Indianapolis it this Toad had been bnilt. The road passes through the best farming country in the btate. and Indianapolis is the natural outlet for 73 per cent, of the production of the territory through which it panne. President Talbott said last evening that this enterprise has been on the boards for twentytive years, bat nver before has any party taken hold which had the financial backing to build it, while the present company has. and he stated, with a good deal of emphasis that, before the world's fair opened, this road would be muning trains between Indianapolis and Hammond. A Shrewd Mot by the Ilijr Foar. About a year ago the Journal mentioned that the C. C. C. & St. L. Kailroad Com pany bad. leased from the Union Hallway J Company and licit road and Mock-yards Company'the portion of tho Belt road lying between the track of the O., I. &, W. road in Haaghville and North Indianapolis. But little attention was then given to the itejm, batTthe cerealine-works locating on thi piece of track has opened the eyes of competing lines to the faot that, like the leasing of the White-river road, leading to Kingan's pork-bouse, it was one of M. E. In galls' a shrewd moves, through which be has practically got the key to the situation at Indianapolis, the Big Four owning 80 per cent, of the side-tracks which lead to Indianapolis'a various industries. A Pennsylvania oilicial who was one of the board of directors, was caught napping, and was as much surprised as anybody when be learned that the cerealineworks were not on the Helt road proper as now operated, bnt all roads competing for business to and from these works must pay tribute to the Dig Four for trackage. Of course it's too late now to secure a change, as a majority of the board of directors Toted to lease this two miles of track to the Uig Four for ninety-nine years, and on this track is the best ground for manufactories in the country or about this city; but,. as in the case of the Alfree manufacturing works, located on big Four tracks, competing lines, to get any business into or from such works, must pay- such switching charges as the Dig Four sees tit to impose. The company is not disposed to demand exorbitant charges. On roost of their tracks this charge does not exceed l per car, while on others it is 81 per car, the charge depending on the mileage of the Big Four track used. The Richmond Extension. Joseph Kamgey, jr.. general manager of the-Dig Foar lines, in conversation as regards the building of an extension of the Whitewater .road from its main line, near Harrison, to Richmond, aaid that everything looked favorable now to its being bnilt, and be thought constrnctien work would be begun In a few weeks. The estimated cost of the road from Harrison to tho crossing of. the tracks of the Pennsylvania Company at Richmond is $1,500,000. The first nine miles of the road will be the moat expensive to build, and f rum Klkhorn creek to Richmond the construction work will be expensive, averaging JiO.flOO rer mile, as estimated. Twentv-eight miles of the line, a now located, will be without any curves or perceptible grades. The proposition of General Manager Kanisey is that the citizens of Richmond and Wayne township raise $n:.0OO-Sl25.00O payable when the track is completed from Drookville, or some point below it, as far as the Pennsylvania tracks in Richmond, 840.000 additional when it is completed to the Peoria division, formerly the I.. D. &, W. railway, and the last $10,000 when it is finished through to Union City. In addition to this be asks that the citizens of Richmond use their intluence to assist in getting additional aid in the threo townships between there and Union City and four townships between there and HarrisonThe total amount of subsidy asked isy-OO.COO. Incase this proposition is accepted the Dig Four will proceed at once to the construction of the road. fw Itallroad Ontlet for Madison. It is reported from Madison that the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company has ordered a corps of surveyors on the ground lying between Knglish station and Trestonville for the purpose of making a tinal and thorough survey for a Tailroad. It is freely whispered that the. distilling farm of LIihs Moon & Sons are at the backlof the project, iind that it is a positive and sure go. There is lo tionht that E. Dloch A Sons are tho principal factors :n the case, for they have been corresponding, it is supposed, with the oQicials of the Louisville & Nashville companv for some years in regard to having a switch run to" Prestonville. Heretofore everything was hauled in wagons to English. Hero is where Madison will come in. provided they will take the proper steps towards securing th parties interested in coming on down the river to Milton, then either cross over to Madison or continue down the river to Louisville. It will not only give Madison a new ontlet, but be one of the easiest, cheapest and best means of securing more railroad facilities. The distance from Kn glish to Prestonville is only about live miles, and to continue down to Milton it is only a fraction less than fourteen miles. Indianapolis & Kokoino Air Line. There is an ominous movement in railway circles at Kokomo which points in the direction of a new road from Kokomo to Indianapolis. At a meeting of the Kokomo Commercial Club Tnesdey evening a number of local capitalists and several from Tipton and the East had the matter under consideration, and present indications are that the road will be a certainty. It is understood that the Panhandle is nt the back of this movement, although this is by no means certain. It is a well known fact, however, that the Panhandle people have tried in vain to purchase the Lake Erie fc Western from Kokomo to this city which is now leased. It i proposed to call the new road the Kokomo V Indianapolis air-line. and It is claimed

the distance can be shortened ten miles. Tipton, which has no competing line, is anxious and bidding etroni? for tbe new road. Anotner meeting will be held this week to advance the movement.

Will Charge S3 Per Car. At a meeting of the Chicago freight committee of the Central Traflic Association, yesterday, resolutions were adopted providing that, taking effect April 4, tho maximum amount that may be absorbed npon class freights in car-loads between points in the territory of the Central Trallio Association and Trunk-line Association, and points within the so-called switching limits of Chicago on the Chicago & Northwestern and the Chicago, Milwaukee t St. Paul roads will be t.i per car. The Chicago & Grand Trunk was not a party to this action, which was taken in fact because of the arrangements already existing bet ween that road and tbe two Western lines, whereby the latter get a percentage of tho through rate on such trallio in lion of switching charges. Personal, Local and General Notes. The West Fhore line, via. the Fitchbnrg railroad, will announce a 50-rate irom Doston to all California points April 1 A new station has been established on tbe Vandalia about midway between Montrose aud Jewett, to be called Woodbury. The Pennsylvania Company is erecting, at Walls, a now point for shops, etc., on tho system, two engine houses, each with a capacity to house forty locomotives. The running time of Train 0. west, on the Peoria & Eastern road, which is the train leaving at 8 a. m., baa been shortened a half hour, it now reaohing Peoria at 3:20 P. M. L. Bobbins, division superintendent of the Columbus & Hocking Valley road, was in the city for a few hoars yesterday. He was en route to Alabama on a two weeks' pleasure trip. John G. Williams, general manager of the Vandalia lines, was in the city yesteiday looking after aoznn legal matters in which the Terre Hauto & Indiauapolis company is interested. It is stated that the Findlay, Fort Wayne it Western company will, in ft few days, begin construction work to elleet a connection with the Cincinnati, Jackson & Mackinaw road. Tho Cheyenne and Arapahoe lands in the Indian Territory, comprising about 2,000,000 acres, will open for settlement between the 1st and 10th of April. The Rock Island has the only line passing through theso lands. The Peoria &. Eastern freight depot, south of the Vandalia city freight depot, is to be torn down and the ground, which the company owns, will be converted into a passenger coach yard, the new freight depot covering the ground where the coach yards now are. The traveling public is beginning to take advantage of the low rates to Chicago. Tho noon trains out of here yesterday over the Dig Four and the Monon lines had every seat in the daycoaohes and parlor cars occupied, and tbe Pennsylvania line carried more passengers than on any trip for many a month. The headquarters of C. J. Stedwell, as division superintendent of the Michigan division of tbe Dig Four, will be at Wabash, Ind. He takes with him as chief clerk Charles Remelin. Thomas Reynolds, superintendent of the Indiauapolis division, has selected as his chief clerk Frank Wilson, now in the office of Division Superintendent Wells. The New York Central will not allow an engineer to wear spectacles, although the nse of them may greatly improve the eyesight. On the other hand, the Pennsylvania Company not only allows its engineers to nse glasses, but takes pains to see that they are provided with the right kind. It is said that the Drotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will protest against what they consider the arbitrary ruling of the New York Central. A syndicate composed largely of railroad officials has purchased 1,100 acres of land in Grant county, lyingonthe Pennsylvania and the Vanderbilt lines, and proposes to build a large manufacturing town at that point. It has been named Gas City and is in the best portion of the gas-belt territory. Thrao manufactories have already agreed to locate there, and th first will break ground, next week, for a twenty-pot cathedral glass manufacturing works. George Miller, of Cleveland, district superintendent of the Wagner Palace-car Compauy, spent yesterday in the city. He says the time had come when the Wagner company does not take a back seat in the character of equipments when compared with the Pullman company. He states that the Wagner Car Company is building some sixteen-section sleeping cars to be run on the Big Four lines, which equal in completeness and finish the best of tbe private cars. On one of the Indianapolis lines, which makes a good deal of trouble about the abuse of mileage books, a colored lady took passage. A traveling salesman, who sat behind her, and had been often cautioned not to allow any other person to travel on his mileage book, was surprised to see ber band up a mileage book, and the conductor, without examination, tore out the proper mileage, and returned the book, which was originally purchased by Wm. Murphy. The Grand Trunk has given the Northwestern roads autnorlty to moot by vray of Chicago any and all rates made by the Soo line and Canadian Pacific on tramo destined to Canadian and New England points. This is a concession that . is duly appreciated by the Western freight otUcials, as it gives them the power to make whatever through rates may be necessary to meet competition, the Grand Trunk standlug its porporiion of the reduction on all such trallio. When the Louisville, New Albany Chicago and the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton put on their expensive Pullman vestibule trains between Cincinnati and Chicago, the passenger department, it was thought, was making a wild, reckless move, but time has proved that such equipments will draw the travel, and. best of all, it has led to other roads putting on first-class rolling stock, and as fine trains now run into and out of Indianapolis as are run in tho world. Indianapolis yesterday seemed to be the meeting place of the passenger fraternity of all the leading Western roads iu search of Knights of Pythias and other business. Among those here were C. H. Crane and George Maxtield. of the Wabash: J. H. Lyon and Coke Alexander, of the Missouri Pacific; Colonel fchaw, of the "O.;" George T. Gunnip. of the JSanta Fe; John Hogan. of tbe Missouri. Kansas & Texas; A. H. Waggoner, of the Chicago iV. Northwestern, and H. P. Mantz. of the Chicago & Rock Island. General Passenger Agent Bassett, of the Pittsburgh Western, has renliedtothe notice given by tho Western roads that tickets of his company's issues were being used to demoralize rates between Chicago and St. Paul. He admits that the appearance of the tickets purchased of Chicago brokers indicates that they have been altered as to dates and adds: "Taken in connecton with other irregularities associated with tbe purchase makes the ease against our agent so strong that I have ordered the ageucy closed April 1. I hope yoa will accept this action as prcof of the sincerity of my etiorts to protect the revenue of the Chicago-tit. Paul lines." The Chicago fc Northwestern will, on April 3, reduce tbe time between Chicago aud St. Paul thirty minutes each way. making tho time required for a trip thirteen hours. This will force competing lines having a more indirect route to reduce their passenger rates in order to maintain business. It is understood that the first move of thrso roads will be to demand that the Western Passenger Association allow them a ditl'ereutial rate of $1.53 per psssunger. making the rate via tbe long lines $10. The Western Passenger Association hits always been strongly opposed to these differential rates, and will probably refuse to grautthis one. The Pennsylvania Company is credited with having the most convenient and extensive yards at Columbus, O., to be found in the West. Thore nie thirty-eight distinct tracks, surrounded by an outside track which will connect with any of the parallel tracks. Tracks on which cast-bound trains are placed are numbered with even numbers, west-bound tracks with odd numbers. The longest of the tracks, which parallel each other) is 2.202. feet; the shortest 800 feet. The outside connecting track is 3.. iy feet in length. There are handled daily through this yard an average of 1,100 cars, and the work of making up and receiving trains is done with two engines, each of which has a conductor and twelve brakemen. Other engines are used in doing the city, switching, such as distributing

cars on switches of private industries and about tbe shops and stations, but the work pertaining strictly to this yardthat cf breaking uo incoming trains and placing them in out-going cuts is done by these two engines, cutting down the cost of switching fully 50 per cent., and at the same time doing tbe work more expeditiously than it has ever before been done at this important railroad center. The Indianapolis division of the Big Four system, which is the old Bee-line, from Indianapolis to Gallon, is said to be the easiest division to operate on the system, one of tbe reasons assigned being that the trainmen are, almost without exception, men who have been long in the service. There is not a passenger engineer who has not been running on the road twenty-live years, and several thirty-rive to thirty-eight years, and the same is true of conductors; in the freight service a large per cent, of the men are old employes and all have become so accustomed to each others method of handling trains that there is no friction, and accidents on this division are practically unknown.

CELEBRATED TAX-LAW CASE No Decision Can Be Expected Upon It Until About the Middle of May. Smith Given a Month to Answer the Railroad Brief-Complicated Ball Sait on Trial Court Briefs. A decision of . tho Supreme Court in the banking case was expected before April 1, at which time assessors begin their work, but the case now goes to a lator date on the docket. The court yesterday granted Attorney-general Smith's petition for time until May 1 in which to file an answer to the brief filed by the counsel for the Pennsylvania railroad. It will then be several weeks before the court will be ready to band down its opinion. In the meantime the Vandalia is the only railroad that intends to pay the taxes required by the new assessment. The Pennsylvania road yesterday paid to the county, treasurer the same amount of taxes it paid last year. This was received and credited to the company upon this year's account. The other roads contesting the law will follow the same plan. Celebrated Case. In the snit of the new Farmers' Bank of Mount Sterling, Ky.. against W. F1. Christian and others, beard befoie Judge Brown, of the Circuit Court, yesterday, there is more of interest involved than the bare title would indicate. Mr. Christian bought a fine bull, of registered stock,, from T. C. Anderson some time ago. for which be was to pay $1,020. In payment be gave bis note for the amount. Some time thereafter, according to Mr. Christian's story, he vent to pay Mr. Anderson for the bull, but as the animal bad died shortly after tbe sale the acennnt was compromised by Mr. Christian paying about half of the face value of the note. This Mr. Anderson accepted by writing the words "paid in full" across the back of tbe note. Tbe document was exhibited in court. The bank claims that it had purchased the note from Mr. Anderson, and that before it fell due it disappeared in an unaccountable way from the hank and that Mr. Christian has never paid a cent on it. Mr. Anderson is dead now. Mr. Anderson, ofMt. Sterling, was held to be the best posted man in America on tbe pedigree of blooded cattle and he was constantly quoted in all stock and breeders' journals. He bad a mania for buying all the tine cattle that he saw, and be increased the fame of bis name some years sluce by buying all of Channcey H.Andrews's, of "Voungstown, O.. herd of registered cattle, paying, or attempting to pay. $50,000 for the lot. lie never paid half of the amonnt, and a couple of years ago John A. Logan, jr., Mr. Andrews's son-in-law, who is also a fancier, bought the entire herd back again. The bull, over which this suit arose, was one of the Andrews herd. The demand is for $2,000, and the case is a very interesting one, to lawyers especially. Democratic Campaigning:. A disgraceful Democratic free beer jamboree was aired to a slight extent in Police Court yesterday morning. A couple of men named Galvin and Wilson were on trial for raising a disturbance in Stephenson's saloon on Sonth Delaware street, last Wednesday night. Dr. Beck and a few other aspirants for honors at the bands of the Democratic county convention bad been following the nsual Demecratio method of "fixing the boys" with a couple of kegs of free beer, a few maudlin speeches had been made and the thing ended in the nsnal row. Before the testimony had proceeded very far that luminous guardian of justice, Hizzoner Judge Bnsklrk. dismissed the case, remarking that it seemed to have been an ordinary candidates' meeting. Helit Over t the Grand Jury . Patrick Fitzgerald and Richard Wallace, two of the men who held up Councilman McGill on the night of March 10, on Ken--tncky avenue, were bound over to the grand jury yesterday. Adjudged Insane. Sallie Yard, aged thirty-live, was yesterday adjudged insane. The Court Record. SUPERIOR COURT. Boom 1 lion. Nsroleon B. Tavist; JniU. Wm. C. Van Arsdel vs. Rolla Harris; supplementary to execution.

HEW VOftK, U.t OUT-OF-DOOR TOOK. Care of This Class of Dependents Discussed bj the State Board of Charities. Tbe following is an , extract from tbe forthcoming annual report of the Board of State Charities: "Concerning what is probably tho most numerous class of all those coming under the purview of the work of the Board of State Charities, we have no numerical statistics. It is that of the outside paupers, those dependent, iu whole or part, on the official bounty of their leilow-citizens, who receive what - is technically known as official out-door relief. Uf these, all we nave yet tbe means of knowing is tbe cost of relieving them. The United States census gives no figures on this subject worth considering; iu fact tho special agut in char of the statistics of crime and pauperism says, regarding this class, in bulletin No. IH) of the eleventh census, 'It is impossible to obtain, through the machinery of the Census Office, any approximation to acompluteenunierationof tho out-door poor, meaning by that phrase the poor who are permanently supported at public expense at. their own homes, or with private families,7 and to emphasize this remark, be presents a, tablo of figures, which show that thocensus takers in Indiana found only lJ'.rj such poor persons. The ellorts of this office', to obtain trustworthy statistics of this Important class of dependents, the class which, with unwise handling, grows most rapidly, which is the lirst to enow the result of bad times, by increasing demands, from which the majority of the inmates of our reformatories, jails, prisons and nearly nil the inmates of our poor asylums and orphans' homes come, have had no better result than shown by the United States census. Nevertheless the importance of the subject is so great that future attempts will be made, until some satisfactory plan shall be devised. "The expenditures in Indiana for outdoor relief last year were $1'U314.W. To this must be added the cost of the medical treatment of the poor, which was SS'J.G'JT.SO, making a total of S5G0,(12,35, orG.5 cents per capita of the total population. No one who glances over tho tables, which show the relative cost of out-door relief to population in the ditlerenfe counties, can doubt that the chief factor in producing the variations they show, runniug Irom 4.7 cents per capita in Crawford to 54.1 cents in Warren, is neither the amount of poverty, the character of the population nor tho proportion of foreien-born inhabitants, although each of these enters in to some extent. The conclusion iar' irresistible that tbe cbief determining cause is .the difference in administration the way in which county. funds are distributed by township officers. , "The out-door relief. in our neighbor State on tbe east is considered excessive in amount. And yet last year Ohio, with a population one . and a half million larger than ours, and with a still larger proportionate excess 'of iubabitants ot lane cities, where the amonnt of out-door relief is usually greatest, distributed 5116,730.04 less in oat-door relief than was given in Indiana, the rate per capita of the total population, bems only 12.1 cents against 2C5 cents with us." The following are the annual expenditures for out-door and medical relief, per capita of population, in a few of the counties ot Indiana, as given on another page of the report. They include a few of the highest and the lowest, also tbe counties having tho larger cities: Warren, 64.1 cents; Henry. CiJ cents: Kos6iusko, 51 conts; Bush, 52.6 cents; Wayne, 51.3 cents Decatur, 4S.8 cents; St. Joseph, 47.3 centR; Fountain, 4G.2 cents; Shelby, 45 cents; Tippecanoe, 43.7 cents; Allen. 41.7 cents: Vigo, 'J3.4 cents; Vanderburg, 22.6 cent; Marion, 12.7 cents; Kipley, 10.1 cents; Washington and Pulaski each. 9.6 cents; Terry, 9.4 cents; Noble, 9.3 cents; Owen, 8.7 cents; Spencer, 7.1 cents; Adams, 6.4 cents; Crawford, 4.7 cents. It will bo noticed that this form of relief is very carefully bandied in Marion county. For many years past, ever since the incumbency of Mr. Smith King, the office of the trustee in Center township has been very well conducted with respect to poor relief. The War I Over.
